Philippe has mentioned an important aspect. Cafe Zurich is the traditional
meeting place for all photographers visiting Lluis in lovely Barcelona.
I do follow the compositional suggestions for shapes and angles. We all
appreciate that there were probably only a few seconds to shoot of course.
Personally I think that the bicycles on the left work in the shot because
they indicate the rest of the group following our tour guide. The Zurich
tables to left add some context too. Story telling elements.
Most people probably haven't seen it but the original colour version appeals
to me a lot. It is summer and the main subjects are tanned, plus there are
splashes of bright colur throughout (green bicycles, blue shirt, yellow
vests on the Police etc).
I think tht the only thing to do is for more of us to visit the location
with Lluis for more shots ;-)
Cheers
Geoff
